By Jonathon Van Maren: Desire for a day of rest should find allies amongst labour, Christians On April 24, 1985, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the Lord’s Day Act in R v Big M Drug Mart Ltd, nullifying centuries of tradition on the ironic basis that the Act contravened freedom of religion for the irreligious. According to Chief Justice Brian [...]
Paul Tuns: In his mandate letter to the finance minister, released on Dec. 16, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau instructed Chrystia Freeland, who also serves as Deputy Prime Minister, to “introduce amendments to the Income Tax Act to make anti-abortion organizations that provide dishonest counselling to pregnant women about their rights and options ineligible for charitable status.” The mandate letter means that Trudeau [...]
Paul Tuns: The medical journal Family Practice published a report co-authored by nine researchers led by Wendy V. Norman at the University of British Columbia, that examined how physicians in Canada maintained abortion services during the pandemic restrictions and found that they were able to continue committing abortions because they and policymakers considered abortion “essential.” They found that access “was often maintained [...]
Oswald Clark Operation Rescue reports in its annual survey of abortuaries in the United States that the number of stand-alone facilities that commit abortions and the number of abortion pills distributed both rose in 2021. In a two-part report, Operation Rescue examined “The Status of American Abortion Facilities: Telemedicine’s Impact in 2021” and The Status of American Abortion Facilities: Chemical Abortions Gain [...]
By Paul Tuns: Researchers say telemedicine abortion pill dispensing put women at risk A study published in the January edition of the journal Family Practice noted that during the pandemic, many Canadian abortion providers – most of them family physicians -- moved to a telemedicine model of delivering abortion services. Telemedicine is when a doctor consults with a patient over the phone [...]
By Mark Wegierski: Thoughtful conservatives in Canada face a dilemma. Already in 1965, in his famous book, Lament for a Nation: The Defeat of Canadian Nationalism, Canadian traditionalist philosopher George Parkin Grant had pointed to the “impossibility of conservatism” in Canada. His writings have proved increasingly prophetic. Nevertheless, there are some thoughtful conservatives left in Canada, who could be called “George Grant’s [...]

Interim Staff On Dec. 10, Justice Robert Goldstein of the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto ruled that there was a “reasonable doubt” that Bill Whatcott’s flyer and his actions fit the legal definition for the “wilful promotion of hatred” and acquitted the long-time pro-family activist. If convicted, Whatcott had faced a possible two-year jail term. Whatcott was charged with a hate [...]
By John Carpay: A friend of mine, a priest I have known for 32 years, recently told me to stop complaining about vaccine passports and various lockdown measures (masks, anti-social distancing, etc.) because they exist for the common good and are intended to save lives. Referencing the encyclical Diuturnum Illud, my priestly friend says that disobeying the law is a sin, unless that [...]

Rick McGinnis The biggest news since the tentative re-opening of movie theatres is the smashing success of the movie Dune – nearly $400 million worldwide for a film that only tells the story of half the novel it’s based on, and which was delayed for release for a year during lockdown. Critics are predicting the movie could create a franchise to overtake [...]
Mark Wegierski Editor’s Note: This article is based on a draft of a presentation read at the Fantastic Literature Conference (The Basic Categories of Fantastic Literature Revisited) at the University of Lodz, in Poland, October 21-23, 2012. It is argued that fantasy and science fiction are genres where traditionalist impulses can persist, in an increasingly desacralized, disenchanted, and “mundane” world. The four [...]
Stalin was, of course, right about statistics; a million deaths is a figure, a thing to be grasped only by the mind. Like the ancient philosopher, Lucretius, who watched with pleasure a shipwreck from the shore, we can comprehend an integer—62,502,904, say—from the safe distance of abstract intelligibility. What does that number even mean, “sixty-two million, five-hundred-and-two thousand, nine hundred and four”? [...]
Oswald Clark If Roe v. Wade is reversed, the abortion issue will likely be dealt with by state legislatures unless Congress passes a law that federalizes the issue. Over the past four years, 19 state legislatures considered bans on all or most abortions, including several that take effect if Roe is overturned. In 2021, 12 total abortion bans statutes were debated in [...]
JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS: General Stewart, you focus on the right to abortion, but our jurisprudence seems to -- seem to focus on, in Casey, autonomy; in Roe, privacy. Does it make a difference that we focus on privacy or autonomy or more specifically on abortion? SCOTT STEWART: I think whichever one of those you’re focusing on, Your Honor, particularly if you’re focusing [...]
